The DSTWO discount has ended!

[hunnymonster]

just a little over five dollars more.

>50% is "a little over"?

 

[Escape]

Lucky I ordered mine already

Just can't help but wonder how much it would cost on DX if they would still sell flash carts.

 

[nycsam786]

I am also happy that I got my order in, the price without the discount is still good!

 

[House Spider]

I ordered mine in time.

By the way my order status is "Awaiting Fullfillment", does that mean I have to do something?

 

[Deleted User]

It's still a good price if you ask me.

Damn! Can't buy it! Only Paypal and MoneyBookers options and can't use them.

(i know, I'm repeating myself, sorry about that.)

You realize that there's a difference between "can't" and "don't want to", right?! I just wanted to point that out--no harsh feelings intended.

Well it was $30, now it's $37. That's merely 2 dollars over five, I'd say it's a just little over. I'm not a rich man by any means, but the difference between 5 dollars and 6 or 7 dollars isn't a terribly large deal to me personally.

Regardless of your issue with my phrasing though, still a great price.

Honestly when we announced the Supercard DSTWO way back, we thought it would be anywhere from $50 - $80. And for some sites, it likely will be.

I've been using PayPal for years, and never had anything fishy happen. In fact they once recovered money for me, on the single occassion when an eBay seller tried to screw me. What is it with people being too paranoid to use services like this? Do they honestly think just entering their credit card number on a store's checkout is more secure?

 

[raulpica]

Craaaaaaaaaaap, was just gonna to order it for that awesome price and this happens

Oh well

 

[skullassfreak]

Aha =] I had it in my cart (for about 8 hours on my iPhone) at the discounted price and when I bought it the price stayed discounted!!!

Sure I realize. And I realize you're being technical about it, but let's see:

PayPal can't acept my credit card because my bank denies it.
MoneyBrookers ask me to make a X$ deposit, while I can only make deposits in €. Who guarantees that my $ to € convertion is exactly the same as MoneyBrookers when they receive de deposit? Plus, it charges commisions (1.01 to 2.99€ just for veryfying my account and each card, for example).

So, I really can't.

It's still a good price if you ask me.

Of course not. I use the www.mbnet.pt system, used by major banks in Portugal. It's been around 10 years of sucessful online and international shopping. Why should I change now and specially for this?

The problem is, a store that deals internationally just can't utilize every system, from every country; especially ones that only exist in one country. They need to use the services that the greatest number of their potential customers will use, and PayPal is useable by nearly everyone.

Hopefully in the future they may just add a regular credit card checkout, but for now the two services they offer are enough for most.

Sure, I'm not saying ShopTemp should adjust to every system in every country. But in this case, and using your words, a regular credit card checkout would be enough.

I'm surprised that by the time I found out about the offer late this morning, it was still priced at $29.99 (of which I immediately purchased one).

 

[iamthemilkman]

Give me Google Checkout or a regular checkout and I'll buy it at even $37.50! And I'll buy much more! Please!!! I will make ShopTemp my #1 place to buy flashcarts and such...

Paypal...

In response to this, and all the others requests for alternate payment methods, we'll suggest it to the ShopTemp crew. I can't promise that it will happen soon, but we do expect them to add additional methods eventually.

That's all I can ask for.

Thank you, Ace.

Wind it up to $500 & $750 - it gets important - oh, ok, I admit it, I wanted to be the first pedant

But yeah, $37.50's still a great price - in fact within 25c of what I paid for a SC DSONEi about 2 weeks ago (in a panic-buy situation)

PayPal can't acept my credit card because my bank denies it.

No way is my bank going to tell me what to spend my money on - change banks.

 

[Golin]

Damn, I was about to buy three too. Oh well, let's see what other retailers sell it for. It can't hurt to wait now.

Technically he's talking about a credit card; so they're only limiting where he can spend the credit they've chosen to grant him.

Still a massive pain in the ass, though, and I'd switch myself.
